My personal preference is variant 2. Less text is good I think.
A more general question regarding this work is, would you consider "load 
balancers" as network elements that should be included?
I know that load balancing can also be achieved at the application 
layer, but in the v4 world there are dedicated appliances that provide 
the functionality and are considered network infrastructure elements.

Finally, since I don't have the technical expertise to thoroughly verify 
the lists of RFCs mentioned, a comment for the writing structure of the 
document. I can imagine that this is still work in progress but I find 
the document difficult to read with this structure. Certainly having a 
table of contents with sections and subsections will help.
